This year I had a lot of fun coming up with new Halloween cupcake designs!

The first thing I wanted to do was a marble cake, but with orange instead of white. I used my regular white cake recipe and my double chocolate recipe and combined them – it was a lot of work, since I was doing two separate cake recipes, but they came out SO. YUMMY. From there, I went a little crazy with the decorating…
